Fractions
Key Stage: 2 ★★

A box contains a number of different counters for a game, together with a rules booklet. If you know some of the fractions of the counters, can you work out how many of each there are?

This problem gives practice in calculating with fractions in a challenging setting. It also requires the use of factors and multiples. While doing the problem learners will need to express a smaller whole number as a fraction of a larger one and find equivalent fractions. This activity will require some estimating and trial and improvement, combined with working systematically.

This resource has comprehensive teachers' notes and resources, linked from the problem page. This includes possible approaches and key questions, as well as possible support and extensions.
